Were Lenin and the Bolsheviks good or bad?

Answer 1

the Russian revolution was both good and bad, as is the case with most communist uprisings...although the old autocracy that the czars had was toppled and the people enjoyed a few years of prosperity under the communist regime, unfortunately it didnt work for long. due to the clunky nature of the governments system many people starved, in some cases stooping to cannibalism to survive. add to this the fact that anyone who spoke out against the regime were shipped off to Siberia to cut trees down, and the cold war and its easy to see why it all turned to custard.

Answer 2

The Communist Revolution in Russia had both beneficial and detrimental sides, with 'benefits' and 'detriments' varying (sometimes greatly) with the perspective of observers and participants. A general historical consensus might be put this way: the Revolution initially brought many benefits to ordinary Russians (and others) in a number of ways, but it was soon transformed into a totalitarian social and governing power that repressed freedoms and imposed hardships of other kinds on a scale that was unprecedented in recorded history.

Answer 3

Yes and no... yes because it gave the Russian society a chance to see what it is like to worship someone other than the czar. Bad because it plunged povety souring high and many men and women died for no reason.

Its all a matter of opinion, it tooottallly industrailized Russia.. from its backwardness..

(with Stalin's Five year plans) and obliterated unemployment.

BUT people were killed, conditions were harsh. Living arrangements.. kinda crampy..

No freedom of speech et cetera et cetera

Answer 4

Violent revolutions are seldom good but sometimes necessary and as is usual they are good for some people, less so for others. So it depends which side you are on.
The main causes are perceived inequalities and injustice. If the people cannot get redress by peaceful means it can and does lead to armed internal conflict. As with all violent conflicts some people are killed or injured.

Answer 5

Very bad. I dont like the french!
